Right now I'm a bit freaked out in icy conditions and I misplaced my extreme weather outer sock so I'm a bit limited in extreme temps + long distances. I do want to thank all of you for your concern and care. Lets start off throwing some dates around, what's good for you guys?
I'm good anytime up to the 3rd of January. Bob has a LD ride on the 3rd.

I discovered, as I'm rediscovering with the studded tires, that the rolling resistance of the Tufo tires is insidious. By the time you realize how much energy you've lost, it's too late--you're dead man riding.
Don't worry. The bike got the better of it (i.e., not as much damage), believe me. I'm still achy from the fall at this moment. I do not want another one any time soon.
Hear that, Bob! I'm taking it easy on our CWC Winter 2009 ride tomorrow!
